V ospredju serije je Gereon Rath, policijski inšpektor in travmatiziran veteran prve svetovne vojne, ki svoj posttravmatski sindrom blaži z morfijem. Gonilo zgodbe je Rathovo drezanje v zlovešče globine berlinskega kriminalnega podzemlja, s katerim dobimo tudi dober vpogled v Berlin konec 20. let, ko je nemška prestolnica veljala za najmodernejše mesto na svetu. Serija natančno in velikopotezno poustvarja razkošen, dekadentni razvrat nočnih klubov, njim nasproti pa postavlja krvave pokole političnih aktivistov, realistične prikaze revščine med naraščajočo inflacijo in politične napetosti, kar nazadnje privede do vzpona nacistov na oblast.

When a gruesomely staged body is found at the German-Austrian border, two detectives investigate. As the ritual-like murders continue, they enter the killer’s sinister world, set in the Alpine wilderness.

Helgoland. Here, on Germany's only offshore island, a small community of survivors of an apocalypse that has overrun the rest of the world and plunged it into chaos is holed up. But the price of their survival is high. The resources on the rocky island are scarce, so that an inhumane "social ranking" system determines the lives of the 513 inhabitants: each islander is evaluated according to his usefulness. The only doctor is high on the list, others are far behind, and they have to fight for their place on the list and their survival. Meanwhile, people from the mainland are trying to get to Helgoland and the Helgolanders have to defend their island.

Neizkušena posadka, ki jo vodi novi poveljnik Klaus Hoffmann, se odpravi na prvo nalogo, pri čemer so njihove osebnosti na preizkušnji ob vse večjih napetostih in skrhani zvestobi.

With a huge asteroid rushing towards Europe, there are only eight days left till impact. In the face of the apocalypse everything changes; laws and rules are abandoned. Who can save themself, what is really important now?
